Metal-Multilayer-Dielectric Structure for Enhancement of s- and p-Polarized Evanescent Waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a structure based on combination of multilayer stack of dielectric films and thin metal layer for excitation and enhancement of both s- and p-polarized evanescent waves. It is shown that two different mechanisms of evanescent wave excitation may occur at the same angle of light beam incidence on the structure. Application for evanescent wave polarization holographic recording with the help of this structure is discussed.

Multilayer dielectric structure for enhancement of evanescent waves.
We describe a type of multilayer dielectric coating designed to enhance the intensity of evanescent waves. The coating consists of a stack of alternating high- and low-index quarter-wave layers followed by a final low-index layer whose thickness is chosen to optimize the evanescent-wave intensity. Indirect measurements of the film properties are in good agreement with theory.

We propose using a specially designed metal-multilayer-dielectric structure deposited on glass substrate to enhance the evanescent field and improve the sensitivity of the surface plasmon resonance sensor. The proposed structure supports both hybrid plasmonic transverse magnetic modes and conventional waveguide transverse electric modes. We show numerically the significant enhancement of the ev...
متن کاملAnalysis of nonlocal effective permittivity and permeability in symmetric metal– dielectric multilayer metamaterials
A generalized nonlocal effective medium theory is derived based on the transfer-matrix method to determine the nonlocal effective permittivity and permeability for the symmetric and periodic metal–dielectric multilayer metamaterials, with respect to both transverse-electric and transversemagnetic polarized light at arbitrary angle of incidence. The nonlocal effective permittivity and permeabili...
متن کاملTheory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures
A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...
متن کاملEvanescent field enhancement due to plasmonic resonances of a metamaterial slab.
The characteristics of plasmonic resonance in a dielectric-sandwiched metamaterial film at visible wavelengths of 650 and 568 nm have been investigated (for both p- and s-polarized light). Our calculated results demonstrate that each mode of plasmonic resonance has maximum resonance strength at a particular film thickness of the metamaterial. We also demonstrated that the effect of evanescent f...
